-## What is the Fediverse?
-
-The fediverse is a federated universe of servers commonly used for
-sharing content, like social media. So, instead of having to rely on a
-single organization to run the server (e.g. Facebook), the fediverse is
-a giant collection of servers across the world, owned by many people and
-organizations.
-
-Take a look at this depiction of a federated network. Each server in
-this photo is owned and run by different administrators/owners.
-Federated networks are best explained as email servers: you have an
-email account that exists on a server (e.g. Outlook), your friend has an
-account on a different server (e.g. GMail), and another friend has an
-account on a third server (e.g. ProtonMail). All three of you can talk
-and communicate back and forth without having to be on the same server.
-However, responsible email admins are there to set rules and control the
-traffic going in/out of the server.

-
-The main objective of this architecture is to decentralize the control
-within the internet connections. For example, if you run your own
-Mastodon instance, you and your users can't be censored or impacted in
-any way by authorities of another Mastodon instance. Some users have
-praised these features due to recent criticism of popular social media
-websites that may be over-censoring their users.
-
-This strategy is great for making sure control of the social web isn't
-controlled by a single organization, but it also has some downsides. If
-I create a Mastodon instance and get a ton of users to sign up, I can
-shut the server down at any time. That means you're at risk of losing
-the content you've created unless you back it up, or the server backs
-it up for you. Also, depending on the software used (e.g. Mastodon,
-Pixelfed, etc.), censorship may still be an issue if the server admins
-decide they want to censor their users. Now, censorship isn't always a
-bad thing and can even benefit the community as a whole, but you'll
-want to determine which servers align with your idea of proper
-censorship.
-
-However, these are risks that we take when we sign up for any online
-platform. Whatever your reason is for trying out federated social
-networks, they are part of the future of the internet. However, the
-popularity of these services is still yet to be determined, especially
-with the increased difficulty understanding and signing up for these
-platforms. Perhaps increased regulation and litigation against current
-social media sites will push more users into the fediverse.

-## Get Started
-
-The best way to get started is to simply sign up and learn as you go. If
-you're comfortable signing up through a Mastodon, Pleroma, or Friendica
-server, here is [a list of themed
-servers](https://fediverse.party/en/portal/servers) to choose from. If
-you're looking for something else, try a web search for a federated
-alternative to your favorite sites.
